This ASYE programme has helped me to develop my knowledge and reflect on my social work practice, and it was also a good way to form positive relationships with colleagues, which also provided that extra level of support’” Naomi\n“I enjoyed the ASYE programme, it enabled the space for my professional growth and for me to re-adjust to the Social Work profession. The ASYE programme provided varied training; a protective case load; opportunity to develop a professional support network with my colleagues on my ASYE cohort” Jermaine\nAs a Newly Qualified Social worker you can work in a range of services such as our Assessment and Short Term Intervention (ASTI), Safeguarding, Children in Care teams, Children with Disabilities, Youth Justice Service or even Fostering or Adoption.
